“With Foes Like These...”

In "With Foes Like These...", Spider-Man swings through the city on a mission to track down Flash Thompson—only to be sidetracked by a brutal clash with Titania and the Absorbing Man. With tensions high and the stakes dangerously real, the fight ends in a standoff when the Absorbing Man threatens to drop an airplane full of passengers, leaving Spider-Man to swing away, frustrated and uneasy. Written by Tom DeFalco and brought to life by Ron Frenz’s dynamic art, with Bob Layton on cover pencils and inks, this 1986 issue captures the chaotic energy of Spider-Man’s world at its most unpredictable.
